Every week I receive tons of emails from women who are looking for legitimate jobs they can do from home. When I ask them about their passions, skills, and prior experience, a large percentage of these women mention their Christian faith. Because faith and religion play such an essential role in the lives of so many, it only seems fitting to explore the companies and opportunities for faith-based jobs.
If you’re looking to incorporate your faith into your work-at-home job search — here are six places where you can find Christian work-at-home jobs.
1. Christian Work-at-Home Jobs
My initial goal when I was writing this post was to find Christian companies that hire remote workers regularly. But in my intensive research, I was only able to find a few companies.
Concordia is a non-profit institution that was established by the Lutheran Church. Currently, they hire adjunct faculty to teach college courses online.
Belay is a legit work-at-home company that hires Executive Assistants, Bookkeepers, and Web Specialists. Their mission is to “glorify God by providing solutions that equip our clients with the confidence to climb higher.”
Exec-u-sist is a privately held, Christian owned and operated company that hires Virtual Receptionists.
Grand Canyon University is a faith-based institution that integrates a Christian worldview into their curriculum. Currently, they hire both part and full-time adjunct faculty to teach online.
Bushnell University hires adjunct instructors to teach a variety of subjects online. Search for listings that have the keyword, online.
Ohio Christian University hires remote recruiters and adjunct faculty in a variety of subjects. Look for the jobs with the keywords: remote, virtual, and online.
Don’t worry; my search hasn’t ended. I will continue to scour the web and search for more Christian-based companies that offer remote gigs. As I find them I will update this list – so stay tuned.
2. Christian Job Boards
There are a TON of job board sites online, and I did find a couple of Christian-based job boards, but honestly, I was disappointed with the results.
Christian Job Fair is a division of Christian Career Center. On this site, you can search under their “work from home” category for remote jobs. However, the two listings that showed up under this category were for home business opportunities. They did say they were Christian-based businesses, but they both looked like “get rich quick” schemes. If you decide to use this site, make sure to do your due diligence before applying for any jobs or opportunities.
Christian Jobs is a job board that “Connects believers in the workplace.” Here you can search for jobs, as well as post your resume. They do have a “work at home” category, but the three results that popped up were weak. Two were direct sales opportunities, but they weren’t even for Christian-based companies. The third listing that showed up wasn’t a work-at-home job at all; it was for a daycare position that had the word “home” in the title. This could be a good place to submit your resume, but be careful when searching for jobs – make sure to do your research.
If you’re going to use a job board for your search — I’d recommend using FlexJobs, Hire My Mom, Indeed, or Upwork.
FlexJobs is a paid membership-based job board dedicated to flexible and remote work arrangements. Not only do they cater to remote, part-time, and freelance work, but they hand-screen every job posting for legitimacy, so you never have to worry about falling for a scam. They also have an excellent section for Christian employment which can be found here.
Hire My Mom is a paid membership website that connects moms seeking work-from-home jobs with small businesses seeking virtual professionals. While it’s not touted as a Christian resource, its Founder, Lesley Pyle is a self-proclaimed lover of Jesus. Besides running Hire My Mom, Leslie also publishes the blog, Here I Am Lord.
Indeed is an aggregated job board. What this means is they pull results from all of the major job board sites, and display them in one place – so it saves you a ton of time. And because they have such a huge database you have a better chance of finding what you’re looking for.
Upwork is a project-based, freelance job board. To search for gigs type the keyword “Christian” into the search box. A couple of projects I found were gathering biblical texts from the internet and another for a church telemarketer. To apply for gigs on Upwork, create a profile, bid on projects, and wait for your bid to be accepted. Once the work is complete, you’ll get paid securely through the Upwork platform.
3. Selling Christian Products From Home
While not a job per se, direct sales is a money-making opportunity that you can do from home. For a minimal fee, direct sales companies will give you a starter kit that includes everything you need to get started. From here you’ll follow their detailed guide on how to sell products; usually, this is done through in-home parties or catalog sales. For each sale you make, you’ll earn a commission. The nice thing about the direct sales industry is there are quite a few Christian-based companies.
Christian Bling sells faith-inspired jewelry, accessories, and gifts. Consultants can earn 20% – 29% commission on individual sales and additional percentages on team sales.
Crowned Free is a Christian-based direct sales company whose mission is to raise awareness and empower women who have been rescued from human trafficking. The company sells jewelry, clothing, home decor, and accessories. With this opportunity, consultants earn 20% – 30% commission on sales.
F.A.I.T.H. which stands for Fashion Accessories In The Home sells faith-inspired jewelry. With this opportunity, you pay a small startup fee, and in return, you earn free jewelry credits. Sadly, you won’t make any money with this opportunity, but if you LOVE free jewelry, it may be worth looking into.
Grace & Heart is a direct sales company that sells faith-inspired jewelry. There’s not a lot of information on their website about the opportunity, so you would need to contact them if you’re interested in joining the team.
Gracewear is a Christian-inspired direct sales company that sells jewelry, baseball caps, flip flops, ponchos, purses, and accessories. I wasn’t able to find information on how much consultants earn with this opportunity, so you would need to request more info if you’re interested.
Initial Outfitters is a Christian-inspired direct sales company that sells personalized totes, bags, jewelry, and gifts. Consultants can earn 20% – 35% on personal sales, as well as additional percentages on team sales.
Martha and Mary is a Christian-inspired direct sales company that offers a unique blend of business and ministry, selling home decor, jewelry, kitchen and tableware, and gift items. Consultants can earn 25% – 40% commission on sales, plus additional percentages for building a team.
Thirty-One is a Christian-inspired company that sells personalized bags, totes, purses, jewelry, accessories, baskets, and wallets. Consultants can earn 25% commission, plus bonuses.
4. Christian-Based Business Opportunites
Sing n’ Sprout is a Christian-based music and movement program. With this business-in-a-box opportunity, you’ll be equipped with all the tools to teach Christian music and movement classes to families and children. You can sign up to be an independent Sing n’ Sprout teacher for a base fee of $140 with a monthly recurring fee of $5.95.
5. Blogging Around Your Faith
Obviously, I’m a huge advocate for starting your own blog. But let me tell you why blogging is such a great home business to start.
- It builds a business platform for other opportunities like freelance writing, coaching, speaking, social media management, or direct selling.
- Showcases your expertise.
- Opens doors to new people and opportunities.
- Has low startup costs.
- You can blog about any topic.
- It’s completely flexible – you’re not stuck to a set schedule.
In fact, there are many bloggers who have blogs centered around their faith:
- Jill over at CWAHM
- Bob at Christian Personal Finance
- Glennon at Momastery
- Jen Hatmaker at her self-titled blog
- Arabah Joy at her self-titled blog
Starting your own blog is easy and affordable. However, it is not a get rich quick career. But with this being said, I have interviewed women that have made six figures within their first year of blogging.
If you’re interested in going this route – I suggest you take a look at these “how-to” blog articles:
- Learn How to Setup a Moneymaking Blog
- How to Write Content, Get Traffic, and Monetize Your Blog
- Find Out How to Get Your First Blog Advertiser
- How to Get Companies to Purchase Advertising Space on Your Blog
Looking for Christian brands and affiliates to work with? Of course, you can contact the direct sales companies listed above, but here are a few more options for you to consider.
6. Christian Freelance Writer
As a freelance writer, you will research, write, and edit pieces for clients. Now, you may be thinking that you need an English degree to be a writer, but the truth is, anyone who enjoys writing can do it professionally. The types of projects that you take on will vary on your prior knowledge, skill set, experience, and interests. The best piece of advice for anyone who wants to be a freelance writer … Keep writing! The more you write, the better and faster you’ll get. Also make sure you’re investing in your professional development by reading and participating in courses, webinars, and training.
Here are a few Christian freelance courses and books that can help you on your journey.
- Secrets of Writing for the Christian Market
- The Art & Craft Of Writing Christian Fiction: The Complete Guide to Finding Your Story, Honing Your Skills, & Glorifying God in Your Novel
- The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Christian Fiction
- The Christian Writer’s Market Guide 2015-2016: Everything You Need to Get Published
While this list is nowhere near complete, it will give you a good place to start on your Christian work-at-home job search.
If you know of a Christian work-at-home job, opportunity, or direct sales company, let me know, and I’ll add them to the list.

Yes, legitimate work-at-home jobs can be hard to come by, but don’t get discouraged. Create your own opportunities. Have patience and hone your God-given talents and/or interests into niche areas that you can monetize, such as blogs or websites (as suggested in the article above).
I discovered my ideal work-at-home opportunity through my passion for reading and writing. Now I proofread Christian fiction, and I love it! If you’re willing to work hard and put the time and effort into mastering your craft and producing quality, dependable work at affordable prices, you’ll develop a solid reputation–and eventually the customers/clients will come to you. And your hard work will pay off. God bless!
How would a person find a job proofreading Christian fiction? This is something that has always interested me.
Hi Rebecca,
You would pitch your services to Christian-based companies and authors.
If you’re interested in finding out more about proofreading, Caitlin Pyle has a free 45-minute intro workshop that can give you more details about the profession and how to best get started: https://bit.ly/2I48cJQ

Hello
Hi, I’m Susan. I am 54 and have health issues that are keeping me from being able to stand for long periods of time: Artery Peripheral Disease Fibromyalgia and I am a recovering addict due to an inability to stay off of pain medication due to chronic painso I am on Methadone. I am also a Godly woman whose heart aches , cries out in sorrow because I feel like I am disappointing the Lord Jesus because I can’t get off of this pain medicine and I feel guilty. I believe this is probably an attack from the enemy who is the accuser of the brethren. I know he is the father of lies. I just can’t seem to get peace and KNOW the Fathers love for me is unconditional. I have no girlfriends to pray with and I am single not in a relationship or fellowship with a man.
I am on SSI and have Section 8 to help me with the rent.
I need something to keep me occupied. I am an intelligent woman with myriad of work experience but most of all I love people and have a gift to communicate with people especially in sales ONLY if I believe in what I am selling. I have to believe the service or product will benefit the organization, business or individual. I currently have not put together my resume’ mainly because it is lengthy and the last one I had I hired someone to put it together.
So there you have it, a brief but straight to the point synopsis of Susan Burrell White.
I also failed to mention extra income would be another huge factor along with getting keyed in to a job where I can make a difference in their company and who knows I wouldn’t be against at making a lucrative amount of money so I can get off social services and buy myself a condo and travel/ My hearts desire is to go to Israel one day.
I look forward to hearing back from you eagerly waiting for some ideas and direction from you.
Holly sear, I need a breakthrough. I believe you have an anointing to show me the way.
Blessings and Shalom
Sincerely,
Susan

Holly,
She wouldn’t qualify for those jobs until she has beaten her addiction plus, her health issues. Amazon and UPS are hiring, but, because of her addiction, she doesn’t qualify.
We need actual SIT A HOME EMPLOYMENT. E
Susan, don’t I just saw your post don’t know if you found anything yet I realize you posted in 2017 but try Uhaul.com they allow you to work from home. Since you are not able to move about as you would like this job to seem like it would be perfect for you. Good luck
I am desperate. I am 61 unemployed, living with family member that house is infested with fleas & she is in denial. I am hearing impaired without a car. I need an online job so I can get my own place. The fleas & dust mites are attacking me all day. I also sleep on the floor. Praying, hearing God’s voice. Trying to hold on until my change come. Don’t know how much more I can take. Crying every day. Please pray for me.

Hi Holly & Sherri,
First of all, I want to thank you, Holly, for providing all of this information and for finding so many great resources for us women who seek income, but are trying to be steadfast in our faith – seeking first to please God.
And to Sherri, I’d like to extend an encouraging bit of hope from the Word of God…
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.” (Romans 5:3)
Also, I am working with a very successful direct sales company who offers savings on a product that everyone you know uses already, which makes referring customers to it much easier than the commonly necessary tasks of educating prospective buyers about products, and asking them to change the way they shop (I’m not good at those things).
I’d like to reach out to anyone who wants to learn more. Please connect with me on LinkedIn.
Blessings, Darlene Lamoureux
Hi thank you for availing this page. I am a mom of 3 children aged 8, 6 and 3 years.

For me, I found what I loved and brought a christian perspective to it – I am a coach for Team Beachbody, but I take it a much larger step further – I am a coach for Christ – so my team consists of christian women, we do a Facebook bible study – we love on and help others and get healthier at the same time while helping others to do the same physically and spiritually. If anyone is looking to learn more (if this is not ok, Holly, you can remove my link), this is what God put on my heart about blessing and earning and I’m happy to share more with anyone who is interested!

Thank you, very much! I am a substitute teacher with an MAE in California and no credential. I am saddled with debt, and subbing does not pay the bills. I was really considering going to school again for seminary, but cannot. I was blessed when I found this site. I have not had a chance to look into this information, but I am very excited about getting started. Again, may God bless this ministry.
You’re welcome, Shelly! Good luck and keep me posted on your journey!
Thank you so much for doing this research. Finding any work at home job is difficult, but finding a Christian one is even harder.
You’re welcome! Good luck with your job hunt and keep us posted.
